To cut to the chase, Mueller appears to be homing in on the question of whether there was a conspiracy to obstruct justice.

Sounds like a lot of heavy breathing from Andy, but I don't know how you prove intent to conspire based on a subjective interpretation of emails that will "never get out." Even if Hope Hicks said this, there are many more plausible reasons for saying it than obstruction.

Also, I wonder how the memo affects the Muh Russia going forward

So we’re going to impeach a President over ‘he said, she said’?

And we will probably never see a Special Counsel for investigating the MASSIVE conspiracy by NUMEROUS Obama officials and their subordinates for their ELECTION INTERFERENCE USING FRAUDULENT FISAS AND THEIR SUBSEQUENT COUP ATTEMPT on a duly-elected president.

The question still is, can somebody obstruct justice if they’re lying about something that isn’t contrary to a statute?

I read it and there’s one major problem: The reason the Times and other media had the emails was because Obama was tapping Trump and his family and his associates illegally. Next!

Still, though unsavory, that form of collusion is not criminal.

*Ahem*
Is there a form of collusion which is criminal? No, there is not.

Having a meeting with “Russians” is the same as having a meeting with “Russian government agents” ?

If Rosenshitz is called before Congress and gets grilled medium rare, Muller will have to go.

Just a #NEVERTRUMPer, throwing mud on a wall.

Lousy article.

Meeting with and talking to foreign nationals isn’t a crime.

Neither is acquiring or conduct oppo research.

It has nothing to do with official abuse of power because neither Don Jr or the Trump attorney Hopeb Hicks were government officials.

And their activity is protected by theb First Amendment.

I don’t see any conspiracy grounds here.

Meanwhile Peggy Noonan claims to be worried that the Republicans will lose the House and Trump will be impeached. More likely she is hoping for that to happen.

I’m still trying to figure out what law they’ve been accused of breaking?

What’s collusion? What does it involve? Nightly prayers, morning chanting and afternoon meditation? How about illegal campaign donations from Foreign government in service or in kind? Isn’t that essentially what the Trump dossier was? An illegal campaign donation from the DNC and Hillary?

They can’t even get a claim of hacking out properly ... not when the chief campaign manager is using passwords like password and the candidate uses unsecured servers both professionally and during her campaign.

NO surprise this is from NR. Muh Russia and `obstruction’ is a red herring and it always has been.
The Obama administration, the intelligence community, the DNC and their the mainstream media misused our nation’s surveillance assets as a political tool to get Hildawg elected President.
How were our spooks using their equipment and authority to surveill foreign intelligence that a Trump campaign worker might be privy to, in the interests of national security, before Obama and the Clinton had even stuck this peeled ginger root up their MSM’s pud?
`Muh Russia’ is butthurt j’accuse to salve their own guilty asses.

This makes Watergate look like a jaywalking. Don’t make the mistake of accepting the MSM’s slanted (lack of) coverage and the fake issues of nevertrumper fake conservatives/NR’s fake umbrage: the MSM was/is part of the conspiracy and the neo-conmen wanted Clinton to win.

You misjudge Peggy. True, she drank the kool-aid and hoped Obama really would unify the country, but it didn’t take her very long to figure him out. She has written a number of very good columns attempting to explain Trump to the Washington establishment that I think are very insightful. She gets Trump supporters and gets that we are anything but “deplorables.”
